Absent Friends Lyrics And Chords By Mike Denver

The song was written by Wes Cardy and Greg Tingey. These are the guitar chords as used by Mike Denver and Band. There's a key change near the end. This key change is optional if playing for your own enjoyment, but if you're playing along with the band then use the chords I have given. The lyrics of this one was sent to me by Steve Clarke, thanks Steve.

Intro. chordsA D A E A

[A]The time has come to [D]say good[A]nightFor every road must [E]endFor the [A]ones who care and are [D]always [A]thereOur very [E]special [A]friends

Let’s say goodnight to those we loveAnd maybe shed a tearBut before we close let’s think of thoseWe love who can’t be here

Let’s raise our hands to absent friendsFor every road must endYou’ll always be there in our heartsOur special absent friends

As we go down the road of lifeSometimes we race too farAnd as we chase the future brightWe can’t forget the past

So let us cherish memoriesWe hold inside our heartsWhere those we love will always liveAnd never to depart

Let’s raise our hands to absent friendsFor every road must endYou’ll always be there in our heartsOur special absent friends
